Es handelt sich wahrscheinlich um einen Wurm.

Die Datei hat bei mir den Prozess einer ominösen setup.exe (die im \system32 lag) dauerhaft repliziert. Das hatte Tonnen von Popups mit Installer-Fehlermeldungen zur Folge. Nach abschießen der svdhost.exe hört das auf, und man kann den eigentlichen Störenfried entfernen. Allerdings denke ich, dass die svdhost.exe selbst eher ein Türöffner für einen eigentlichen Schädling darstellt.
